> I can see yours and k22’s point. It makes sense. But I might not have been clear? It seems to me he has shortened it almost to the point where he could be creating more problems? Thats what I meant by unnatural. It just looks difficult to duplicate and under pressure I’m not sure I would want that. We all know how difficult it is to shorten our own swings. I guess he knows what he’s doing? It just does not look smooth. Now if he had average length he might have to find a different solution. I just wonder at what point do we need to find something else besides just shortening swing?

 

Got it. I understand now. You may be right. I remember hearing that this year he was working on adding length to his swing. That he thought it was getting to short and quick.

I think he'll get a brief Tour memo, same as Ryder did when he pulled his sockless capri pants stunt.

[Christosterone]

This is how golf pants should be!

doesn't ping make pants ... of some kind?

[2putttom]

Watson will make a big move today, in what direction I don't know.

[Pinging77]

Amazing how average Brooks looks when not in a major. Two water balls on a par 5 today.. 50% drive accuracy and GIR not much better..

[TServos]

Sucher’s head is spinning now.

Omg he's just imploding.... His caddy needs to get him in order....

[Darth Putter]

I can't watch, it's too horrible. Hopefully he can still get a high finish.

[BrianMcG]

Anyone else want to get Keegan some longer clubs. He just looks so uncomfortable.

[BeTheRightClubToday]

Stevie still taking the bib off early, I see. Some things never change.

Golf is hard, yo!

 

[golfnoob25]

Imagine if Tiger had the weeks brooks is having

[Ballgofarboy]

Sucher had some really bad breaks. This is where a caddy earns their keep. Instead of trying to hit the hero shot, take your medicine and live for another hole. 10-12 ended his tournament as far as winning but if he is mentally tough he can come back and stay in the top 5 with a solid round.

Like he had a Bethpage?

[OldBridge]

Should've put some money on Reavie. Had a good showing at the U.S. Open so it shouldn't be too surprising that he's leading here. TV executives have to hate big third round leads (unless it is Tiger tearing the course apart).

[flushem]

What a performance in back 9 by Chez! As Sucher subsided, Chez rose. He deserves 2/7 odd though I personally hope for Bradley.

I think he means in his prime.

How about Reavie lighting up the back! wow 28!!

He made that 28 look so easy LOL.... And to think that 28 is two shots from the all time PGA Tour record of 26 for 9 holes set by Corey Pavin. Would love to see Reavie come out tomorrow, shoot 65 and just hammer the field. Sort of like when Brian Gay won by 10 shots at Hilton Head a few years back.

I love that Pavin has the record. A short hitter who had a FANTASTIC short game.

I like Bradley's value at 14/1. Reavie's form is good but he's only won once and it was over 10 years ago (PGA Tour). Anything can happen in 18 holes of golf but I think Reavie will get it done.

[Pent08]

Spieth missed the cut and Koepka is sitting T66 out of 70 after his 4th round. Those two really had it out for the ratings.

[BrandonDunes]

Course is looking tough today

[OldBridge]

Paul Casey dropping lots of f-bombs after missing that putt on 11. And that is why players aren't mic'd up!

[OldBridge]

Also, that's a great Sunday round by Ancer to move up in money and world ranking points. Definitely won't hurt his bubble status for the President's Cup.
